BEFORE USING THIS HUMIDIFIER
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be

the warranty agreement for repair.
5.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not

To disconnect the humidifier, first turn controls to the OFF position, then grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.

distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.

being serviced or cleaned.
